From Services to Products
Romania and Eastern Europe are well known for their tech talent. The IT industry grew a lot in the past 20 years partly because of outsourcing services provided to international clients.
I keep seeing founders of services companies (from small to big ones) looking to build their own products and trying to tap into the startup path. Some investors might question the ability to make the change to a product business.
But let’s look at a few startups that raised some of the largest seed & series A rounds in Romania. Many of them have been founded by such founders:
- •FlowX (raised $35M in series A led by Dawn, $8M in seed)
- - founders previously at Qualitance - Qualitance was acquired by Alten
- •Druid (raised $30M in series B led by TQ Ventures, $15M in series A)
- - founders previously at TotalSoft - TotalSoft was acquired by Logo
- •FintechOS (raised a total of $150M+ in multiple rounds)
- - founders previously at Softelligence - Softelligence was later acquired by Encora
- •Sessions (raised $4.5M in seed led by EarlyBird)
- - founder previously at Trencadis - founder later sold his shares in Trencadis
